The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 792 Prince Su starts to attack?

"Yes." Shen Yanxi nodded.

Although he knew his parents' personalities and had specifically instructed them on some matters when they first got married, now that Prince Su's affairs had spread so widely, his parents might not be able to remain calm.

"Don't worry, I know that my parents have good intentions, so they won't be angry about this. Besides, they are just giving a few reminders because they are worried."

Jiang Suining paused for a moment before continuing.

"Actually, what father and mother said makes sense, but I can't extricate myself from the affairs of the Women's Academy at this time. But there is no need for you to have any conflicts with Prince Su. Although the emperor trusts you, there is no guarantee that he will not have a rift in his heart because of these things."

"Madam, are you afraid of getting me into trouble?" Shen Yanxi raised his eyebrows.

Jiang Suining met Shen Yanxi's gaze and said, "I mean to let you consolidate your position well, so that if anything happens in the future, you, as my husband, can take care of the aftermath."

Jiang Suining's words made Shen Yanxi smile quickly, "That's more like it."

If Ningning said something like she was afraid of getting him into trouble, it would really make him sad.

"If we have time in a couple of days, let's go home and have dinner with father and mother. They came here today just to drink a cup of tea, talk and then left." Jiang Suining said after thinking for a while.

"Okay." Shen Yanxi agreed.

Dinner was almost ready. Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi had just arrived in the hall to eat when a servant came running hurriedly outside the door.

"Sir, Madam, someone from the Jiang family came and said they want to ask Madam to go back."

The servant's words made Jiang Suining's heart skip a beat.

It was already dark, and someone was sent to ask her to go back in a hurry at this time. Could something have happened?

Worried, Jiang Suining stopped eating and asked someone to harness the carriage.

Shen Yanxi accompanied her there.

When I arrived at the Jiang family, Jiang Zhitong, Zheng, Jiang Mushi and Wei Yao were all there.

The faces of several people were not very good, especially Jiang Mushi.

"What happened?" Sensing that the atmosphere was not right, Jiang Suining asked without wasting time.

"Sui Ning, Yan Xi, it's already so late. I shouldn't have called you back, but..." Zheng paused, "But after discussing it, we felt that something was wrong with this matter, so we should still tell you."

"Mother, let me speak." Jiang Mushi took over the conversation.

Since this year, Jiang Mushi has not only been managing his own shop, but has also been gradually taking over the Jiang family's silk business.

Jiang Zhitong wanted to train Jiang Mushi, and he did a good job handling the few businesses he took over, so he has been more hands-on recently, leaving almost all the business to Jiang Mushi.

But a recent business deal went wrong.

The buyer ordered a large quantity of silk and offered a high price, but only stipulated that the goods must be delivered within one month.

Although the time was a bit tight, it was still within the scope of what could be accomplished, so we signed the contract.

However, soon after the contract was signed, the shop that originally supplied raw materials to the Jiang family suddenly said that it was out of stock, and even claimed that the raw materials for the next few months had already been booked in advance.

Although the Jiang family still had some finished silk in stock, it was only half the quantity. Without the raw materials, the remaining half could not be completed and it was impossible to deliver on time. According to the agreement in the contract, if the Jiang family could not deliver on time, they would have to pay five times the compensation.

"That shop has been cooperating with our family for many years. Whenever the raw materials arrive, they always supply us first. So when we signed the contract with the buyer, we didn't expect this problem to arise." Jiang Mushi looked gloomy.

"So you suspect that someone is behind this?" Jiang Suining asked.

"Nine times out of ten, I also asked several other raw material supply shops, and they either said the same thing, or the raw materials they could supply were too little and not enough. In short, something is wrong."

At this time of year, there shouldn't be a shortage of silk raw materials.

Although there are many merchants doing silk business in the imperial city, most of them are not big businesses and it is impossible for them to consume so much raw materials at once.

It is hard not to suspect that someone is secretly doing something when all the suppliers are out of stock.

"Have you sent some unfamiliar faces to test the waters instead of ordering raw materials in the name of the Jiang family?" Shen Yanxi asked.

"I've tried, but the answer I got was the same, saying that they were all booked out. I don't know if it's true or if they've been warned and are worried that the Jiang family will send someone to do this, so they simply don't sell any of them." Wei Yao said calmly.

"If that were the case, you wouldn't have asked someone to call me back. Is there something else? Or have you found out who is behind this?" Jiang Suining looked at Jiang Mushi and Wei Yao.

The two looked at each other, and finally Jiang Mushi spoke.

"Sister, we suspect this matter may be related to Prince Su."

"What's the reason?"

"After failing to purchase the raw materials, I asked someone to find the buyer of the order, hoping to discuss whether the time on the contract could be extended. However, I was told that the buyer had already left and had sold the goods elsewhere. But yesterday, I accidentally ran into that person, and he was meeting a middle-aged man. I asked someone about it, and the news came this afternoon. The middle-aged man was the steward of Prince Su's Mansion."

If it was just a business problem, he would find a way to solve it himself and would not trouble his sister.

However, if Prince Su is involved, the other party’s purpose may not just be aimed at the Jiang family’s business.

After discussing with my parents and A Yao, I felt that I should tell my elder sister about this matter. If it was really Prince Su who was behind this, we must take more precautions.

Hearing about Prince Su, Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi were not too surprised.

The Jiang family now has a bigger business and more people to rely on. If the person behind the scenes really is just trying to scheme against the Jiang family for money, it would be a little hard to understand.

But if it was Prince Su...

Jiang Suining frowned and thought.

Wei Yao expressed the doubts in Jiang Suining's mind.

"If it really is Prince Su, then what exactly is he after? Is he deliberately trying to go against us?"

First it was the Girls’ Academy, and now it’s the Jiang family. What exactly is this Prince Su planning?

"This is something I haven't figured out yet." Jiang Suining said, "But no matter whether Prince Su is involved in this matter or not, we must find a way to solve it."

The reason why the Jiang family went bankrupt in the previous life was because of business problems, but that time it involved the royal family. This time, if the compensation is only five times...

"If the business fails, besides paying five times the compensation, will there be any other problems?"
